Mushrooms and onions are the perfect compliment to steak, plus they add bulk without added calories or fat. A great example of using steak as a condiment.

Originally when I made this steak dish, it was intended for my steak sandwich recipe, but since this is also so good over rice, I felt it deserved it's own post. (Steak and cheese sandwich recipe coming tomorrow!) Serve this with a salad and you have a complete meal!

Have all your vegetables sliced and ready before you start cooking, this takes only minutes to make once everything is prepped. Enjoy : )

Slice beef into thin strips. Season with salt, garlic powder and fresh pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is very hot, spray with cooking spray and add half of the beef. Cook one minute, then turn steak and cook an additional 30 seconds. Set aside in a large dish.

Spray the skillet again and when it gets hot add the remaining steak, cooking one minute, then turning and cooking 30 seconds more. Add remaining steak to the dish. Return skillet to heat and spray once again with cooking spray; add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook one minute, then turn and cook onions an additional 30 seconds or until onions are golden.

Lower heat to medium and add 1/2 tsp olive oil to the skillet, add mushrooms, salt and pepper and lightly spray the top of the mushrooms with cooking spray. Cook 1 1/2 minutes, then turn mushrooms and cook another minute and a half. Add to dish with steak and onions and stir to combine. Serve over rice.

is it the flavor or texture you dont like about them? I didnt like white button mushrooms but the little brown ones I fell in love with, different flavor. Also large shitaki mushrooms taste more like beef. Anyway if you dont like mushrooms you can use zucchini or squash...what ever hearty veggie you do like

Yumm!! This looks so great! Definitely making it this week! Love how it's super easy and quick to make..I always love topping my steak with sauteed onions and I love mushrooms too so I have a feeling this is going to be a favorite recipe of mine! I can't wait to make it, thanks Gina!

I would just use a nice flank steak or a round steak cut thinly across the grain. You could even use stew meat, however that might be a little tougher unless you marinate it first. A good marinade for this might be some Worcestershire Sauce. The acid helps to break down the meat a little and tenderizes it. It is also good when broiling or barbecuing.

I love how simple this! I feel like this is something that you know you have all the ingredients on hand and you could mix in tomatoes, green/red peppers, etc as well for a super quick dinner! Once again Gina comes through!

I just made this for my husband and I and it was WONDERFUL. He keeps talking about how yummy it was. I have made so many of your recipes and I just must say that I don't know what I would do without your blog. I love how you hardly ever use artificial ingredients. Thank you!!!

Wanted spmething "special" for tomorrow. Gonna try this with the peppers as well and think it will be a fajita night. Gonna make your Salsa Picante Roja with it and have some light sour cream.. My mouth is watering already. Might add some Chipotle peppers as I LOVE them.Colette

I have discovered a cut of beef called flat iron steak, kind of like skirt steak, but not as tough. Just marinate it in your favorite marinade, cook it any way you like, grill, stove top etc. It is really yummy! I fixed mine on my grill pan along with some thick slices of onion, really good! Thanks, Gina for all of your great recipes!

Hi, Gina! I must say your recipes are always great. I have sandwich steak out for tonight & this looks really good. I think I'm going to make it. I have canned mushrooms instead of fresh, which I guess will work just as well.Silly question. Did you use white or brown rice with it? Just wondering which would be betterThanks

Oh boy Gina, this looks like a great one - my better half is a real meat eater; therefore there is a lot of 'heated discussion' over the meal choices - he would eat beef every night - so beef v. chicken is s hot topic; to not having to bbq steak on a regular basis would be a real treat - I'm sure that this is going to be a favourite; so many possibilities, i.e. peppers; fajitas; etc etc Thanks for all your encouragement and great recipes.

This was GREAT served over rice! My husband is very picky about the way this cut of meat is cooked but LOVED this. I used baby bella's for the mushrooms and even my 5 and 7 year olds enjoyed it. Keep the recipe's coming Gina!

This is the first recipe I have used from your site and may I say... I am blown away! So So So good! I will definitely be coming back for more. Have you ever thought about doing a cooking series of videos online? Like giving little tips and such?

I made this for dinner tonight! AMAZING! I served it over brown rice with Worcestershire sauce, fresh green beans tossed in sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds and fresh bread from the farmers market! DELICIOUS!!

wow this was amazing and so fast! also, very cheap...only $3 worth of meat for a lot of food. Gina, you should keep posting inexpensive, tasty recipes like this one...newly married and budget-conscious people like myself would be very grateful :)

I love this recipe! My husband thought it was really hearty and fatty.... little did he know it was WW!! I added green onions and zucchini. It was delicious! Then added some peppers to the leftovers for fajitas the next day! Amazing!

I made this tonight almost exact. I had sirloin steak. I sliced it raw against the grain and it cooked perfectly. I used onions and mushrooms. I will add peppers next time too, I just didn't have any. I served it with brown rice. My kids ate the steak and rice, no veggies, but my hubby loved it!!!

I found "thin cut beef round sandwich steaks" in the beef section at walmart. You just have to really look because there's not a whole lot of them. I picked through 5 or 6 packages. Can't wait to make this tonight. (stomach is growling now lol!) My hubby is a meat & potatoes kind of guy, so he will love this I'm sure.

Stumbled across this recipe because I bought what I thought was "cheaper" meat. Got 4 of these little steaks for $2.69. Just made this recipe for myself with two of the little steaks, half a small white onion, and two cremini mushrooms. One word: AMAZING. Thanks so much for the idea. I believe I'll be using the other two steaks for the same thing next week!!

I'm making this for my husband's "welcome home " dinner... the only question I have is, do I use fresh or canned mushrooms? It looks like fresh from the picture, but I just want to be sure. Thanks, it looks amazing and I can't wait to try it :)

I am also a mushroom hater-lol! But I made this with an entire onion, and 8oz mixed red and green bell peppers instead of the mushrooms and it was so good and simple! I just had mine topped with Swiss cheese but my husband had his as the sandwich

I finally returned to WW after 7 years and 3 kids... this time convinced the hubby to join. Day 2 and we are excited because of all the delicious looking recipes you have come up with! Tried the steak, mushrooms and onion tonight, YUM! My husband said way better than the junk we normally eat, and so much healthier! Thank you, thank you Gina for all your time and devotion... have to admit I am a little jealous of all of your talents. Can't wait to create some of the adorable gifts that you display so beautifully. I am hooked on this website!

Yes , it is 2pts + without the rice. Made this tonight after my ww meeting. All I have to say is awesome ! I bought steak you would use making fajitas. Thinly pre sliced used 2 steaks after weighing them out & have 2 steaks for next time. Defintely will be my standby for quick & low points dinner.

Made this for phillys the other night and absolutely loved it! My husband liked it so much that I am making it again tonight to serve over rice. So glad I found your website, I am making one of your meals every night this week!

This was delicious. I served it with grilled zucchini. My only criticism is that IT didn't make enough for the four of us. We couldn't get enough. Next time I will double the recipe. The points are so low I know I'll be able to do it. this was definitely a keeper. so fast and easy.

I am going to make this tonight. I think I will reconstitute some dried porcini with fat free beef broth and add them in for a little more "bulk". I have made so many of your recipes, and have yet to find one that we don't love. I give out this site's address at WW meetings every week.

I made this last nite. DELICIOUS. I used this in a Whole Wheat Pita. I mixed a little bit of light sour cream with horseradish mustard & grated 1/2 a cucumber & some garlic powder for a lite sauce for a light Beef Gyro. For my husbands Gyro I added 2% shredded cheese since everything he eats has to have cheese on it. THANKS again Gina, for a great, lighter tastier meal.

Just made this tonight....delicious....even my son's dog downstairs came up with the smell...only change I made was replacing mushrooms with spinach....placed over grain rice....so easy to make and fast....

Made this last night for dinner, such a HIT!!! Very tasty! Defiantly making this again SOON! So GRATEFUL I found this website! Making a lifestyle change and this is defiantly helping me commit to be fit!
